Passionate Photographer Masterclass LONDON – with Steve Simon & Edmond Terakopian
Now Fully Booked 🙂 Thank You 🙂
Following on from the great success of our joint street and travel photography masterclass last year, I’m thrilled to be co-hosting another London Workshop, with my great friend and colleague, Steve Simon, this summer. We have ONE spot still left, so do hurry and book yourself in.
The biggest gain in one’s level of photography never comes from just new equipment; it comes from learning to see deeper, being mindful and reacting in a visually cohesive and aesthetically communicative way.
Our fully immersive workshop will be focused on street photography and travel photography, with direction and feedback from us both, on a daily basis. Steve and I will share our own approaches and philosophies to capturing daily life, on the streets. You can see more about my work here.
Photographs from our week long 2022 workshop, ended up getting some awards’ success: Travel Photographer Of The Year gave a Highly Commended award and the International Color Awards, six nominations.
Those who know me, know how deeply I value workshops, the sharing of knowledge, thoughts, concepts and exploration. I’m a firm believer that one never stops learning. Every shoot brings unique circumstances and one learns something new every day. Having started as a passionate photographer in 1986, I turned professional in 1989, primarily as a photojournalist, but also as a commercial photographer, a social photographer and a short film maker. I thoroughly enjoy passing on knowledge and tips and helping those new to the industry, the hobby or a particular aspect of our work as professionals, to pick up new skills and further their career. Anyone who has been on any one of my workshops or presentations will hopefully vouch for my passion and energy for image making.
The best way to really advance our craft, is to have a totally immersive experience. To dedicate the week and really focus the mind and soul, our observational skills, as well as sharpen camera skills. Photographing, exchanging thoughts, sharing of images, not just with Steve and myself, but amongst fellow workshop attendees too, is one of the absolute joys of such a photographic workshop. If you’ve never done a week long workshop, you will be amazed by the gains one makes after such a immersive experience.
Testimonials
Some feedback from our wonderful students from last year:
Michele writes: “The London workshop July 2022 was FABULOUS! I have taken other workshops and this was one of the best. Steve and Ed spend a lot of one to one time with each participant and it really helped. I am a shy street photographer who was also grappling to “get comfortable” with my camera…. There was no pressure to get the best shot- as sometimes can be the case in some photography workshops. The guys shared their time generously. I got great shots- learned tons and met a really fun group of folks.
Ed knows London and found us some great spots and wonderful restaurants.
I would highly recommend the London workshop as well as any of Steve’s workshops.”
Pat writes: “What better way to explore London with all of its quirks and hidden treasures than in the company of these two talented photographers. I loved this workshop. After setting the camera aside during covid, this was just what I needed to get reacquainted with Street Photography and regain my passion for making images. The choice of Covent Garden as a meeting area was a good one, with the National Gallery, Soho and other great locations in easy walking distance. The daily critiques were a great way to get input on your work and to experience how other artists are approaching similar subject matter. Having input from both Steve and Edmond was very helpful. I appreciated their generosity, helpfulness and willingness to coach one on one to enrich the experience.”
Stephen writes: ““Such a fun and productive week of learning with all important daily critique sessions. Steve and Edmond were both attentive to each of us individually and gave us practical tips in the class and on the streets to improve our street photography skills.”
